方铅矿与脆硫锑铅矿在高碱体系中的浮选电化学行为（英文）

Electrochemical behavior of galena and jamesonite flotation in high alkaline pulp

为有效分离方铅矿和脆硫锑铅矿并提高其在混合浮选中的回收率,研究两者与乙硫氮捕收剂(DDTC)的作用机理。通过单矿物浮选实验研究矿浆p H值对两者浮选行为的影响。通过循环伏安法和塔菲尔曲线测试研究两者与乙硫氮作用的电化学性质。浮选实验结果表明,在高碱体系中脆硫锑铅矿被石灰强烈抑制。循环伏安曲线和塔菲尔曲线表明,乙硫氮与方铅矿和脆硫锑铅矿的作用是电化学过程。高碱体系对方铅矿与乙硫氮的作用影响不大,但是对脆硫锑铅矿影响很大,这是其自身氧化以及OH-和Ca OH+等离子的特性吸附,导致非电活性的羟基化合物和低导电性的钙系化合物附着在其表面,阻碍电子在电极表面的传递,从而使脆硫锑铅矿的可浮性降低。

In order to effectively separate galena and jamesonite and improve the recovery during the mixing flotation, the interaction mechanisms between the minerals and the collector of diethyl dithiocarbamate （DDTC） were investigated. Single mineral flotation test was organized to research the effect of pulp pH value on the flotation behavior of galena and jamesonite. Electrochemistry property of the interaction of these two minerals with DDTC was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and Tafel tests. Flotation test shows that the recovery of jamesonite in high alkaline pulp is strongly depressed by lime （Ca（OH）2）. The cyclic voltammetry and Tafel tests results show that the interaction between galena and DDTC is an electrochemical process. High pH value has little influence on the interaction between galena and DDTC, while it has great effect on jamesonite due to self-oxidation and specific adsorption of OH^- and CaOH^＋ on jamesonite surface. Non-electroactive hydroxyl compound and low-electroconductive calcium compounds cover the surface of jamesonite, which impedes electron transfer and DDTC adsorption, thus leads to very low floatability of jamesonite.
